+Guidelines for Documentation Contributors
+=========================================
+
+ * Use spaces instead of tabs.
+ * Hard wrap Markdown lines at 80 characters.
+ * Hard wrap Git commit message lines at 72 characters.
+   * This leaves exactly four spaces on each side of the commit message when
+   viewed in the default `git log` format.)
+ * If appropriate, make numerals in numbered lists match between Markdown source
+   and HTML output.
+   * In the event that a user is required to read the Markdown
+   source directly, this will make it easier to follow, e.g., numbered steps in
+   a set of instructions.
+ * Use hanging indentations  
+   where appropriate.
+ * Use `[reference-style][ref]` links.
